REPUBLICAN MOTTO.
Naught'u a Naught, Figger's a
Figger, All for the White Man
None for the Niger.

The Louisville Times thus explains
how the colored brother was treated
in the Republican State convention;
"The features Of the afternoon and
evening sessions were the ignoring of
the temperance question and the re-
fusal, in the face ofloud demands, to
recognize the negroes. When Prof.
S. e. Smith, of Elizabethtown, the
colored Assistant Secretary of the con-
vention, arose TO speak while await
ing the report Of thu Committee on
Credentials, he was unceremoniously
showed aside by Matt. O'Doheriy,
who was full of a speech on protec-
ton. Smith came full in front of the
platform in response to uproarious
calls from colored delegates, had the
Chairman's unmistakable recognition
and had opened his mouth to speak
when O'Doherty, taking the floor in
the Louisville delegation, silenced the
Professor and forced him TO retire to
his seat.
Again, at IL o'clock, when all the
nominations had been made but the
last, the negroes came, demanding,
begging, pleading for at leastas much
recognition as the nomination of one
of their race for Register They rep
resented one-third of the Republican
vote in Kentucky. The mountains
had been recognized; the West had
been recognized; now the negroes
brought man from the Bluegrass
well fitted for the Office and deserving
it aside from considerations of color.
please do just this much for us"
begged the Tenth-district delegate
almost with tears. But the roll of
counties was called, and Judge Denny
and other white delegates from dele
CATION 10 delegation said: ave must
put the negro on" but the negro was
beaten by five hundred votes"

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

ResolUed, That change is neces-
sary in our State affairs which would
curtail offices, reduce expenses and
enable the people of Kentucky TO
overhaul and examine the books,
which for nearly twenty years have
been virtually sealed against them.
Second-That we condemn the
Democratic party of Kentucky for a
useless waste Of the peoples money !;
for bringing convict labor into COM
petition with that of honest working
men; for retarding immigration and
for gripping education.
Third-That we are heartily in fav-
or of asking and receiving federal
aid to our common-school system.
Fourth-That we approve of and
will support tariff so. adjusted as TO
protect and develop American indus
tries; and also such State legislation
as experience has proved to be neces-
sary for the development of the ma
terlal resources of this Common
wealh.
Fifth-That we favor national aid
to internal Improvement of our lakes,
rivers and harbors, and disapprove of
the course of the President Of the
the United States In refusing TO sign
bill which promoted such improve
ments, leaving the work already done
to fall into decay.
Sixth-That in common with our
Irish fellow -citizens who have sought
an asylum in America, we sympa-
ihize with suffering Ireland, and
hope that at no distant day "home
rule" may be given to a people whose
persistent persecution on the one
hand, and struggle for liberty on the
other, have formed one of the saddest,
as well as the proudest, records of
history.
Seventh-Believing with the la
mented Lincoln, that is the duty of
the nation "to care for him who shall
have borne the battle, and for his
widow and orphans" we hold that
the people of the United States owe
aud everything debt of gratude to the
soldiers and sailors who saved the
Republic; and we hereby disapprovc
of aud condemned the veto of Presi-
dent Cleveland OF the bill which pro-
vided for their relief.
Eighth-Conv!nced that legislation
for the protection Of capital and in
the Interest of corporations, which
would not equally protect labor,
should not be had, we favor such
measures only as will encourage both
capital and labor, and insure to the
workingmen just and reasonable re-
Enumeration for their toll and ample
protection in their rights.

The UsefQl Toad

The Denver Field and GdrGers says Mr..
Goodman, well-known yineyardist of
California, gives information which would
give one grounds TO Iaud the virtues of the
toad and advocate hi5right % multiply and
replenish upon the face OF the earth. With
out attempting to convince anyone that the
toad is a thing Of beauty, or that there is
poetry IL the motion with which he humps
himself over the moist earth, or music in
the tones of his voice, his accomplishments
are Of practical nature, The creator Of
the toad fashioned FOR him no gaudy wings
that he might futter in the ambient at
nnosphere before admiring multitudes, nor.
like some of his fellow-men, attune his
voice to sing his own praises. Hence 80
few know the toad to admire him. His
virtues consist solely in 4 marvellous ca
paclty and an indispensable appetite for
bugs and worms
Last spring, at later date than this, Mr..
GCo4E'an noticed that graahoppers were
Matching ont in myriad numbers in 3
wheat field adjoining lis vineyard.

pest, Mr. Goodman went to mis- neighbor

but upon e closer inspection Mr.. Goodman
found that the hoppers had already net
with barrier absolutely impossible. Mex:
to the vineyard vas shallow drain ditch,
and from this legions of small toads came
forth to meet the suoculent grasshoppers
and to have Z picnic with them The
toads received the grasshoppers with open
mouthed hospitality and took them as
near their hearts as possible. Not grass
hopper crossed the toad line outside Of
toad. When the toads in front became
overloaded with hoppers they fell back
and empty toads took their place, and
thus the merry feast went on until the
very toadstools waxed fat and the polly
wogs locked like young porpoises. And
nn&liy there were no more grasshoppers to
eat and the vineyard was unframed.

Words for Bathers.

The following hints, from an exchange
should be read extensively:
"When the bathing season arrives" re-
marked a natatorium professor the other
day, well hear Of the usual maximum of
drowning cases, and among them, as usual
fair share of expert swimmers. The
chief reason why good swimmers are 50
often drowned when they are accidentally
thrown into the water, is because the shock
causes them to lose their presence of mind.
The loss of presence of mind leads to para
lysls OF the body, or 10 such wild exertions
as accelerate drowning, instead Of contrib
utlng to preservation. The ability to be-
have wisely in case of sudden accidents can
only be acquired by experience. Hence,
in some of the European swimming
schools, says the He9rcr Journal, the pupils
are taken out boat-riding and purposely
upset as though the upsetting were acct
dental. They are also suddenly pushed
prepared accidents, so as TO accustom them
to acting in emergencies. In this way they
learn how to behave in case of real acct
dents, and are protected against the loss OF
| their presence of mind on occasions Of
danger on the water. They are also taught
| 70 have faith in the sustaining power OF
water itself. They get to know that the
| water will sustain them if they will only
render it the least help.
A finger laid upon an oar, or the gun
vale Of an overturned boat, or board, or
almost any floating substance, viii sustain
the human body in calm water. Persons
who have been properly taught, and have
acquired the habit OF acting with self-pos-
session in the water when they are upset,
do not attempt to climb on the overturned
boat, but simply take hold of it and quietly
support themselves. A boat half filed
with water, or completely overturned, will
support as many persons as can get their
hands upon the gunwale, if they behave
quietly. In a case of accident, person
who understands and acts in accordance
with these facts would stand better
chance of being saved, even if he were a
poor swimmer, than an expert swimmer
would who should lose his presence OF
mind"

Buttons and EARRINGS from Blood.

The world Is moving rapidly in the d.
rectlon OF saving particularly in utilizing
devices for the saving of what Is heretofore
been considered waste material. Making
buttons from blood is step in this direc-
ton. There is a large factory in Bridge
port, near Chicago, employing about 100
men, boys and girls, in which waste ami
nal blood Is converted into buttons. The
same firm has another large factory else
where. A man named Hirsh was the first
TO Introduce the business into this country,
some years ago. He lost $4,000 the first
SIX months, bat he stuck to it, and Is now
immensely wealthy There are number
OF similar factories in England From
6,OoO to 10000 gallons Of blood are used in
the Bridgeport factory every day. Moth
ing but fresh beef blood is used. I. is said
that pigs blood is just as good, but It II
too much trouble to collect and save it.
Considerable of the blood evaporate.5 dur
ing the process of drying, but what re-
mains is pure aibumep. Some Of it is
light in color and some dark, according 70
the chemical treatment given II. These
thin sheets Of dried blood are then broken
up, and are ready to be worked into vari-
GUS shapes and sizes. Large quantities Of
the blood sheets are also used by cloth
manufacturers for getting" the color in
calico goods. Not only are buttons made
from blood in this way, but tons of ear
rings breast-pins, belt ciasps, combs and
trinkets are made annually there from
blood. 1t is 2 queer, odoriferous business.
